Todd Blackadder has addressed the Alun Wyn Jones to Bath rumours
By Christopher Devine
Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder has rubbished suggestions the club will make a move for Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones at the end of the 2017-18 season.
A report last week suggested Bath had targeted Jones, who has spent his entire career to date with the Ospreys.
However, Blackadder told the Bath Chronicle: "He's not out of contract I don't think, is he? He won't be coming to Bath."
One of the most highly rated forwards in the northern hemisphere, Jones has earned 113 caps for Wales - a tally topped only by prop Gethin Jenkins.
He has also played every Test of the last three Lions tours.
Yet Blackadder appears content with the second-row options at his disposal, adding: "All the guys we've got, we're currently retaining."

After you. And yes, that's exactly what Penney should do. Stat!! Unfortunately he has one year left on his contract.
Penney's Super Rugby win record was a low 23% before we signed him on. At the top was Razor at 84%. And true to form, Penney took us from a 7-peat to not even making the play-offs in ONE season. No excuses. LOSER. Thank God his contract is up next year. And hopefully Rangi might wanna throw his hat in for the job.
In the meantime, hopefully we can crack the top 6 this year in spite of Penney!??!
Go to comments"exceptional as usual" haha I'll take that to mean he kicked how he 'usually' kicked?
Why was Dmac rated a 6, did he not actually do any better or did he come on at fb or something?
